Firriato
Rosso Etna DOC Nerello Mascalese
Opened this about 3-4 days ago and it really became approachable on the 2nd/3rd day. Will do well with some more time. Notes of cherry, raspberry, strawberry, spice and forest floor. I asked my 2 year old son what it smells like and his answer was "I don't know, sausage!" lol!!

Sep 22nd, 2014Bright red fruits, violets and mineral feel with light dusty tannins. Ripping acidity - needs food. Bit thin
